Snow Day

Don't you love the snow? My Sawyer sure does! We took a Sunday drive up the Canyon and snapped a few pics. Sawyer was so cute in the snow! It is beautiful up there this time of year.

It's that special time of year again!

Christmas! Oh, Christmas!
It's a different kind of fun when you have kids. This year has been fun so far. Carsen wants nintendo games. (doesn't all 8 year old boys) This is Sawyers first year of Santa Claus discovery. "danta dause". He even sat on his lap. We were shocked. We thought for sure he would cry or something. And Drew is easy this year. He is asking for a diaper change and breast milk.
We are so blessed.

Getting along these days

Well, Drew is almost two months now. I know I can hardly believe its gone by that fast! But I am often asked. "How are you getting along these days" I'm guessing you are referring to sleep, which I don't get much of. So, being up in the night ( every 2 hours 4 if I am lucky) I've found reruns of a teen drama that was a big hit when I was in high school and too pre-occupied to care about it then. Watching just a few episodes, I was hooked. I found myself looking forward to the 2a.m. feedings.
Yes, Dawsons Creek is my new sweet pleasure. I have even went as far as renting from the first season. and so on. I find myself wanting to ask Nick"Can you believe Joey is acting like that?" (like we actually know them) I know, I am pathetic!
So, as far as How am I getting along these days? Drew is not sleeping through the night, but I am O.K. with that. Drew is doing great, I am doing great. Nick, Carsen and Sawyer are doing great. And Dawson, Pacey, Joey and Jen are fabulous!

The gift of the Holy Ghost

Carsen had the opportunity to get baptized this month. We had been counting down the days to "baptism day" and it was finally here! The morning was crazy in the taylor home but I guess that can be exspected. (What? no white underwear?) A trip to shopko this cold morning was in order. All in all, we made it. Even on time if you can believe it! This was a really neat thing for all of us. . His Grandpa Penrod Baptized and confermed him. Sawyer was right down front and center of the font, "WATER!!, WATER!!, WATER!!" We thought he would jump in with his brother taking a 'bath'. We were all so proud of Carsen! The next day in Sacrament, They called him up and congratulated him. We had been talking before church about bearing his testamony. He really didn't know much about this. He said "yes mom I'm going to do it" When the bishop called him up, he thought that was the time to do it. After the bishop shook his hand, Carsen stood there not knowing what to say. He had this half smile, half worried look on his face. "I don't know what to say" he whispered o the bishop. "It's O.K. you don't have to say anything." The bishop said to him. He walked back to his seat with a smile. We know he has the spirit in him. Carsen is our wonderful, special, great boy!
